Chitragupta Temple

According to Hindu beliefs, Chitrgupta is the one who keeps record of man’s good and bad deeds. He then decides Heaven or Hell for the humans according to their deeds on earth.

There is a temple in Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, with the presiding deity Chitragupta.

The idol is seen in a sitting posture with a pen [ezhuthani] in his right hand and a palm leaf on left.

Devotees believe that worshiping here gives one a prosperous life. He shows one the right path to follow. After the worship one gets a turning point in life. The evil effect of Kethu would be mitigated.
